A former Premier League forward who played for Manchester City has taken a dramatic career change as he was elected President of Georgia
An ex-Manchester City striker has gone from the pitch to the presidential suite as they have been elected President of Georgia.

Mikheil Kavelashvili played for the Premier League champions from 1996 to 1997. Although City got relegated during his time at the club, the Georgian did score on his debut which just so happened to be in the Manchester derby. However Man United won 3-2 in the end with a Ryan Giggs finish.

After leaving England, he spent the majority of his senior career playing in Switzerland with teams like Zurich and Basel. He earned 46 caps for his national team where he bagged nine goals.

Kavelashvili has now gone from winning games to winning elections - but it has come with mountains of criticism. He was elected to parliament in 2016 and continued to co-found the People's Power political movement in 2022.

The People's Power are allied with ruling party Georgian Dream. This party wants to reset its ties with Russia along with pushing toward EU accession. The former striker won the vote with ease. This was because the Georgian Dream controls the electoral college.

Nation with majority of sensible citizens unlike Nigeria filled with mostly senseless people.


In Nigeria, they derive ecstacy in supporting corrupt criminals and ex drug lords to lead them all because of tribalism madness

George weah played in Ac Milian during his glory days not Arsenal.

In fact he never played for Arsenal. He joined Chelsea after leaving Milian.

Sad reality

While their mates are coaches, scouts, club directors, UEFA or FIFA personnel, even doing well in politics as senators, parliament members or presidents.

Good one,
